What Does PLM Stand For?
PLM stands for Polarized Light Microscopy
PLM, or Polarized Light Microscopy, is a specialized optical microscopy technique that utilizes polarized light to enhance the contrast of transparent samples. This method is particularly effective in identifying and characterizing materials such as minerals, biological specimens, and polymers by exploiting the optical properties of anisotropic substances. PLM is widely used in fields such as geology, biology, and materials science for its ability to reveal detailed structural features and provide insights into the composition and orientation of specimen components.
